Very original car that I performed body off frame restoration on.

1952 Chrysler Imperial Hardtop Coupe with 331 Hemi, power steering, power windows and power brakes. This one-family car was imported to Germany from California in 2019. It is 1 of only 440 of this model produced in 1952. It's all original. In 2021 all electrics, power steering and exhaust were rebuilt.

This eye-catching ‘56 DeSoto sat at French Lake Auto Parts in Minnesota for a couple of years before finding a new owner and being imported to Sweden. Bought by Timmie in 2018, the car needed some attention before being able to pass ‘Inspection’ for use on the road. In three years he has replaced the fuel tank, fuel lines and carburetor, installed new brakes all round, a new water pump, hoses, wiring and a lot more, including fitting a complete new interior. Future plans include a full re-paint and a set of wide whitewall tires to add to what is already a beautifully glamorous car.

This super rare 1942 ‘barrelback’ Chrysler is one of only 16 known survivors from a production run of less than 1000. When new, these were the most expensive Chryslers on the market and considered a high-end luxury vehicle, comfortably able to carry 9 passengers. Owned by Harold for more than 50 years, this car is one of the rarest, and one of the most valuable, 1940s Chryslers. Similar cars have changed hands for over half a million Dollars!

Purchased in Belgium in 2015, from a previous owner who had become too old to drive it, this imposing New Yorker has been tidied up with some new chrome, tires and repainted rims, and treated to replacement brakes, bearings and more. Plans for the future are mostly focused on enjoying it and putting more mileage on the clock!

Howard’s 1939 Chrysler Sedan is a truly stunning car, restored to an extremely high standard with a full mohair interior and many NOS original parts. All Chrysler’s top of the range cars in 1939, including this Imperial, featured an 8-cylinder flathead motor.

One of only three P15 convertibles on the road in the UK, Robin’s Plymouth has been hopped up in the style of an early 50’s ‘high school hot rod’. Imported to the UK from Gettysburg Pennsylvania in 2004, the car now runs a Fenton finned aluminum head, dual carburetors through an Edmunds intake, Fenton headers, twin exhausts and period Borg-Warner overdrive. Mild custom touches include a slightly lowered rear end, fender skirts with Buick trims, Eze-Eye half moon headlamp covers, blu-dot rear lenses and genuine 1940s Hollywood flipper hubcaps.

This stunningly original 1949 Chrysler New Yorker Town & Country convertible is a genuine 29,000 mile car, still wearing its original paint, chrome and stainless trim. Purchased by Harold 10 years ago, this remarkable survivor had been barely used for over 30 years and only needed minor servicing and replacement of rubber parts to return it to full roadworthiness.

This Chrysler, originally from California, has covered just 63,000 miles from new. Powered by a 331 Hemi with 4-barrel carburetor, this largely original beauty was treated to a single repaint over 26 years ago.  

The correct full model name of this fabulous car is ‘1950 Chrysler Town & Country New Yorker 2-Door Newport Hardtop’. Owned by Harold Mermel, President of the Chrysler Town & Country Club, this Jupiter Green is one of only 700 built in 1950, which was the final year of production for T&C woodies. Interestingly, the 1950 Chrysler and Crown Imperial cars were the first Chrysler cars to have all-round disc brakes. This is a true luxury car; longer, lower and wider than almost everything else that would have been on the road at that time.

Originally from Oregon, this Dodge was imported to Europe in the 1990s. Purchased by Mauro in 2010, he replaced the motor with one from Switzerland which had only run for 3000 hours, powering a fire pump! With new brakes, new clutch and reconditioned radiator this Dodge is good to go.

After more than 30 years in a barn, this rare 1947 Plymouth Station Wagon was bought by Harold at Hershey in 2006. Painted in primer, it was in need of significant restoration. This specialist work took 7 years but, as you can see, it was well worth the wait! Now back in its original cruiser maroon color, this woody looks super smart with its cream upholstered roof and wide whitewall tires.

Imported to the UK by a German doctor, the early history of this fabulously original Plymouth is unknown. Russ & Steph bought the car in 2012 and have fully overhauled the braking system, fitted a new radiator, rebuilt the carburetor and lots more, including fitting several pieces of new chrome. Future plans include a new set of tires and a full interior retrim. The hunt for a pair of factory fender skirts continues, too.

This beautiful 1939 Chrysler Royal Windsor coupe is an extremely rare automobile, one of just a handful of survivors from an extremely limited one-year-only run. These high-end Hayes bodied cars, of which only 239 were Royal Windsors, were semi-custom built to individual specifications and loaded with MoPar accessories.

Kerry purchased this handsome DeSoto three years ago, with plans to work on the car with her young sons, inspiring them to learn new skills and take pride in their work. With the transmission already rebuilt and several parts replaced, plans for the next stage include a rebuild of the original 291 hemi motor and re-trimming the interior. What an awesome family project!

This P15 Plymouth 2-door sedan is a rare car in the UK and a current record holder, having been timed at over 81MPH on Pendine Sands, at the VHRA Hot Rod Races. Imported to the UK from New Jersey in 2008, the Plymouth has been treated to an engine build with a hot cam, period speed parts and split exhaust system, and the addition of period accessories including fender skirts and a Fulton sunvisor.  

Going by the name of ‘Second Chance’, Juan describes his Plymouth as his ‘anti-depressant medication’, and we all understand that! Already running 12V to power a full audio system and air ride, future plans include new paint and interior, followed by a celebration cruise along the California coast.

What an amazing daily driver! This incredible Chrysler was sold new in Sweden and is now enjoyed every day, as Robert’s regular transport. The 6-cylinder motor runs fine, as was was proved on the day he bought it and drove the car 500 miles to bring it home, 2 years ago.

Driven about 3000 miles in the last year and still only showing 80,000 original miles, this lovely Plymouth is now used regularly for weekend road trips. It’s only needed regular maintenance and service items to give outstandingly reliable service.
